Drinks
Piña Colada Sangria
Watermelon Sangria
Rainbow Lodge’s Streamside Sangria
Grapefruit and Sage Gin Fizz
A gin fizz is similar to a classic Tom Collins, but with a creamy egg white top. In this version, we use juicy, in-season ruby red grapefruit juice for a blush tint and a beyond-easy homemade sage simple syrup.
Strawberry Gin Spritzer
Make this refreshing cocktail when the strawberries are abundant and are a deep, juicy red. The combination of herbal gin and bitter Campari calls to mind the profile of a classic Negroni, but if these spirits are not for you, feel free to skip the Campari altogether or swap out the gin for vodka or a light golden rum.

Strawberry–Black Pepper Syrup
Preserve peak season strawberries by making this aromatic, crimson syrup. The basil adds a lovely herbal note and the slight bitterness of the peppercorns cuts through the sweetness of the syrup.
Jalapeño Watermelon Margaritas
“Fresh, sweet watermelon puree, lime juice, Triple Sec, and jalapeno-infused tequila make these Jalapeno Watermelon Margaritas super summery and delightful.”
Whisler’s Touch of Love Punch
Who says punch needs to be served in a plain’ ol bowl? Take a cue from Whisler’s in Austin, like in their Touch of Love punch bowl with passionfruit syrup and gin, served in fun ‘fishbowl.’
Dulce Vida Spirits Grapefruit & Elderflower Paloma
Pick up a few Texas grapefruits for this new Grapefruit & Elderflower Paloma from organic tequila maker Dulce Vita Spirits in Austin. Their grapefruit-infused tequila is so refreshing on its own, but so palate-pleasing when you pair it with St. Germain Liqueur and a bit of fresh mint.
Tango & Malbec’s Malberita
This cocktail merges two things I love: red wine and margaritas! You’ll want fresh lime juice for this beautiful beverage.
Sway Thai’s Strawberry Basil Drinking Vinegar
This refreshing cocktail from Austin’s Sway is the perfect antidote to cooling off after a spicy meal!
Red Wine Hot Chocolate
Four delicious words: red wine hot chocolate! This luxurious concoction takes just five minutes to prepare, but less than five seconds to fall in love with!
Wanderlust Cocktail with Gin & Amarena Cherry
Feeling a bit of wanderlust lately? You’ll love this cocktail with Amarena cherries and Plumb bitters.
